Suominen produces nonwovens. We are part of the manufacturing industry but we don’t exist just to make things. Our purpose is also to develop nonwovens and expand their possibilities. We make nonwovens better.

Suominen has two business areas: Convenience and Care. Although the scope of their operations might be different today, they nevertheless share many megatrends, raw materials, technologies and employee capabilities. Moreover, the product features may often be similar – after all, nearly all our products eventually touch human skin.

Sustainability stems from the business and ultimately supports the business. It cannot be reduced to reporting or charity activities. Instead, it involves, e.g., developing more responsible products, which our customers and end users crave. That is the way we see it.

During the negotiations a reduction of 21 persons has taken place through natural redundancy or termination of fixed-term contracts. The total headcount reduction will be 50 persons, of which 48 at Tampere and 2 at Nastola.
